Before

“The original kitchen never looked right to me, and open soffits just collected layers of dust and grime. After many weeks of coming up with a design, (and stilling needing a functioning kitchen during the remodel!), I naively started. And six months later I finally decided the kitchen and I were done.” — Carlo

Soffits

The project to be completed was to enclose the soffits. They were finished off with crown molding.
